As climate change and clean energy have climbed their way up higher on the priority list of the average American, with over 80% of voters in 2020 citing climate change as at least ‘somewhat important,’ the media has increasingly satiated the appetite for related news. Whether breathless reporting on the dire IPCC report on climate or extolling the excitement behind the latest electric vehicle model, major outlets like the Washington Post and New York Times are all pushing out the clean energy news as fast as it’s being made.

With the deluge of climate awareness and discussion now commonplace, the release of the 2021 report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) may seem like just another one to add to the pile representing more of the same warnings we’ve now been hearing from years. But if you’re paying close attention the thought leaders in energy, climate, and related fields, you’ll hear that something is different this time. The 2021 IPCC report has unleased some warnings more dire, more imminent, and more worthy of attention than many similar reports in recent years, and recognizing this difference is critical to look forward to what comes next.

So, if you tend to only read the headlines and not dive deep into these scientific, international reports, you’ll likely have some questions, and after a week of discussion you might be too afraid to even ask them. But the answers to these questions are critical to unpacking what to do next, so I’ll lay them out for you here:

The past few years have unfortunately exposed just how at risk certain cogs in the machine of our national systems may be. All it takes is one component to fall short to bring down the whole house of cards. From wildfires in California to a grid-stopping winter storm in Texas to unexpected outages unfortunately lining up with peak summer loads, many events have undercut confidence in these systems. Those unavoidable examples of interruptions are largely the impact of natural systems we cannot control, but the recent cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline and ensuing interruptions to oil and gas supplies across the country highlighted the unnerving reality that malicious actors could intentionally expose and leverage these vulnerabilities. While the fallout and investigations about the Colonial Pipeline hack are still ongoing, much of the real-world impact and dangers have been made abundantly clear as a result.

The Colonial Pipeline Cyber Attack: Exposing Dangerous Vulnerabilities Across the Energy Sector The energy systems that make modern life possible extend well beyond luxury, but rather they are necessities. The availability of energy in all its forms is so ingrained in day-to-day society that any interruption can present real danger: from essential equipment needing power to keep food and medic...
